Tips for looking at the camera for couple photoshoots!
What should boys pay attention to when taking pictures?
Pose
When boys take photos, they must be more generous when posing, and the scene should be as open as possible, so that the portraits taken will look better.
What are the poses for men to take pictures?
Select the front directly
If you have good looks, there is no need to cover up, just take photos from the front. If you are good-looking enough, you can sit down and take a close-up of your upper body. However, when taking close-up shots, try not to look directly at the camera unless you are particularly confident in controlling your eyes and facial expressions. You can also do some cute poses.
But boys’ postures are different from girls’. Boys can change their clothes to get closer to the cute posture. If they rely on expressions or movements, it may not be suitable.
You can also squat down or sit down for a frontal close-up. You can make some movements with your hands when shooting, you can lean on your legs, you can put your hands together, you can cover your mouth, etc.
When standing or walking for a frontal close-up, it needs to be matched with the scene. It is best to create a weak light and shadow effect on the character’s face, so that the texture of the character’s face will be better.
Various profiles
If you are not good-looking enough or don’t like to face the camera directly, then the side face is a very good choice. Boys cannot look back or take close-ups of the side face like girls do when taking pictures of side faces, otherwise the pictures will look unattractive.
In fact, most of the cute poses are not suitable for boys, but boys can combine it with the scene, such as taking a side face shot. For boys, the side face shot must be combined with the scene, especially the side face shot in a big scene will have a particularly good effect, and it will look better. Somewhat artistic.
Look to the left or right, just not facing the camera directly. You can look anywhere, just not towards the camera, and combined with the environment, if you want to take cute poses, the picture will look very comfortable.
Make good use of light and shadow
Girls use light and shadow when taking cute poses to better show off their faces, while boys use light and shadow when taking pictures to enhance the atmosphere. When shooting, you can make extensive use of the light at sunrise and sunset, and then choose to shoot with backlight, and the atmosphere of the picture will be very good.
Back shot
In fact, many boys like to take back photos, because boys’ backs are the most handsome and the easiest ones. Whether you are traveling or doing daily life, you can take photos of your back. For example: During the Chinese New Year, everyone can take a picture of their back, and then add a few words of chicken soup for the soul, and the picture effect will appear instantly. Moreover, taking a back photo is one of the easiest ways to use cute poses, and men can compare.
Climb high and look far
If you want to make your photos look more atmospheric, choose to take them from a high place; face far away and take the photos from the side or behind. When paired with a sideways or back view and a spacious scene, the portrait will look very atmospheric.
Silhouette
Whether you are a boy or a girl, you can try silhouettes when taking photos, and the portrait photos you take will be very artistic. You can do various actions when shooting silhouettes so that the picture does not look too monotonous.
Snapshot
If the shooting effect is not very good and feels unnatural, you can communicate with the photographer and choose to take a snapshot. Snapshot is very simple. You only need to do your own thing or just walk around. The photographer will take the picture through snapshot. Just look cool and leave the rest to the photographer.
Men need to pay attention when posing
The most important thing for boys to take pictures is to show their sunshine, handsomeness and masculinity.
Relax
Many boys don’t know what to do when taking pictures and are very nervous, so the photos they take are very stiff. Everyone must relax their body when taking photos, and their facial expressions must be natural. Try to keep your body as relaxed as possible, avoid stiffness, and keep your posture looking natural and comfortable. Don’t be too deliberate about your pose, or it might look unnatural. You can do some simple stretches to relax your body and make your posture more fluid and natural.
Body language
It is imperative for boys not to be excessive on hand movements when taking their photos to avoid appearing like chicks. When taking photos, boys must look at only two parts of their bodies. These are the leg posture and the facial expressions shown. Boys should keep open legs when taking photos regardless of standing or sitting posture.
It is worth noting that body language matters a lot and expresses emotions. For instance, avoid putting your hands inside your pockets since this will make you appear casual and/or lacking self-confidence. It could be vertically set either at your left side, right or simply, putting one hand into the pocket, while another is naturally located.
Ensure that the pose at which the hands and feets are placed should appear natural as it is not a military pose at all but a normal one with no rigidity. Close posture would involve positions like crossing of arms which might be interpreted as unfriendly or defensive hence their avoidance. Therefore, try a more open posture that would also be more appealing than a closed one and give you added confidence.
Show personality
You can show your personality appropriately according to your own characteristics and preferences. If you are a lively person, try some more dynamic poses; if you are more introverted, choose some simple, low-key poses. Don’t be afraid to show who you really are, whether through clothing, accessories, or specific gestures that show off your personal style.
For example, people who are good at sports can try sports-style poses, such as pretending to run or jump when shooting; people who love music can bring their own musical instruments for shooting. Remember, photos are a way to express yourself, so don’t worry about going too “out of the ordinary”, just keep it moderate and appropriate for the occasion.
